In regard to the story published ' jnterduy In tt.o'Snlt Lake Herald re garding a threatened lawsuit between tbe Grand Central and Mammoth com pmlos. wo in ty say that Inral stock holders of the former company whom wehavesean do not show anv appre hension. The Humid today my: -Tho Grand Contral-Mammoth stnry 'published yesterday was tho subject, of Vmuch talk and tip tcul.-ulon a noug mln 'log men yesteaday and tho possibility Of open hastlllties resulted In qulto nn Active movement among hottlors or Ummnth stock. President Hnlbrook and C E L-wso were both up from Provo, but tho lat ter gentleman, who was seen In the tftornoon, would neither affirm ordeny ai on tho ovonlng prnvlous that n suit was to be brought by tho Grand Central. Prosldent Samuel Mclntryo of the Mammoth, was ulsn seen and he said that no suit would bit brough. from Ids ilde of the house, unless ho found out tha tho Grand Central was operating la bis ground. He admitted that he bad run d-lfta into Grand Central fer ritin y and pointed out on tho map where some of them wero. Ho also de clared that oro h:td been mined from orae while others wero barren, but he contended that he had touched nothing whloh did not belong to him, the in ference being that ho will, it occasion Ixmand-i It, assert his rights under the apex law. Opinions oxprossod by mining men on the streets were varied, but the wish oxprossod bv all was that no diffi culty should occur between the two companies. As ono well known oper ator oxprusiod it: "It would bo "a de plorable affair all around. Lawsuits are expensive and the thing for both ildes to do Is to gottogother and adjust nutters ouc of court."

An Erroneous Idea Wo clip thu following opon letter bo cairno we bcllevo It will be of interest and value to many of our readers: ' Editor Tribune: In your Issue of July 24th you quoted a Salt. Lako City Cimml-slon merchant In speaking of the Initial shipment or Arizona xrapes to Utah as follows: "Utah has usu ally looked upon California for her sup ply of grapes. She may soon turn her attention to Anzoula." While tho per son quoted Is correct both in his sta'e munt of existing fact and In his pro diction of futuru probabilities I tic slro to state most emphatically that there Is not thu shadow of necessity for such condition to exist. Utah can, and should, produce every pound of every variety of grapes required for local market at eyery soason of the year during which It Is possible to ob tain thu supply from either California or Arlzon.t. In tho matter of tho ear lier varlulios, which most likmy con stitute the shipment you mention, Utah's own "Dixlo" can compete whh either of the two States named. As to the lattermarkets, thesu may, and should, bo supplied from tho country lying within a radius of fifty miles of Salt Lako City. I am awaru that the critics will say, "Why don't yon do thlsV" I ask tho sumo question my self, and havo been tryiug for several years to get a satipfnutory answer. As stated In your article, the fruit grown In a dry. Irrigated country is superior Iu tlavor to that produced In a damp warm chmato. In tho matter of urn pea we do not concede any superi ority even iu point, of size, as every body must admit when comparing the two productions found side by bide upon the Utah market during tho months of September and October. Thorefore, I say that It. is an erronoous Idea that Utah must look to any other State for her supply of grapes in the futuro. It nust be admitted that the present production does nut supply the demand but within three years the orohardlsts nnd vindyardists may, if they will, remedy this by at once plant ing vines of thu popular vailoties. In Washington county are grown al thu desirable grape", including Musca telle, Muscat, Black Hamburg, Black Prince, Sultana, Tokay and Purple Damascus. Tho stump plan of culture is practiced, since tho vines need not bo covered In tho winter. In the most fnvoied locations the crop may bo ma tured in season to compete with Cali fornia In supplying thu markets In all the intcrniouutnln country. Every careful trial on grapes In northern Utah has proven highly fuccest.ful, and a portion of tho demand throughout the autumn Is supplied with grapes from Ogd u und I'rovn. While it prob bly is Impracticable to proitiico tho raisin grape In northern Utah, becauso of the lato seasons at whloh the fruit ripens, still in tho "Dixlp" country the very duostof ralxlns are produced each year. Samples of "Dixie" raisins that wero on exhibition at the last two fruit shows held by tho Stato Board of Hor ticulture wero pronounced equal to any that tho world can produce. Tha pecuniary returns from grape culture in Utah are enormous when proper caro is given to the work. At thu low prleo of 2 cents por pyund, whloh is be low the average, un aero of grapes should net tbe grower at least 8160 per annum. In soma Instances in Utah those figures have been nuro than doubled, One successful grower in Washington county told mo ho could make u flue profit on grape at"l cent per pound net at tbo vineyard. In the face of tbe above facts It Is surprising, Indeed, that ltsttll becomes necessary for Utah dealers to annually Import 8100.000 worth of grapes.randns and wlues. This Is a matter which mould concern not only the farmers, but also QYory other person o the State who is an advocaiH of homo Industry. ' With the knowledge of he possibilities In this diiecilnn, thi-ro should be such popular sentiment In favornf tho Utah product that an Imported gmpn would find no favor on the Utah markets. J. A.

It. Rlfo, had accltlently shot und ktllod himself. Uelong was in tho timber and when jumping over a log tho trigger of his rllle caught In a twig, discharging thu gun, the bullet passing through his chest, killing him Instmtly. The deceased was about 23 years of ago and unmarried. Ho had tn-cn working for Rife about, a year and bo fore that had been employed by John Ivrlckson and Willis Rnuff. He was a Utah boy;Jils relatives living In Provo. Tho county Coroner started out thU morning for Pine moiiuialu to hold an Inquest over the remains. The body will be brought to town and will arrtvo here tomorrow night. Wo havo been tumble- to learn any ihlug here In regard to tho matter. Paid tho ( hurck Di-bt. Ho lives In Columbus, and Is known to havo thousands. But his reputation by no means would justify his being called a philanthropist. A week or two ago hu went "down In thu country to his old homo." On his flrt Sunday there he weui to the old churoh near tho mill. Memories of the Sunday mornings or his boyhood days flooded him, days when ho sat in thu hot church ami listened to the boys ah.iuting wrllu swimming in tho Old mill-pond. His heart on this par ticular Sunday morning was grateful for all things, mid especially thu privi lege of attending the old church again. At the conclusion of the sermon the mlnhler ask the congregation for a contribution to pay off the church In debtedness, When tho "steward" rcacheh the old Columbus miser,whosu reputation for stinginess had long been known In the littlo tiMiilot, the sunctl minlous church official was somewhat atari led by h dug addressed: "How much is tho unliro Indebted ness of the church J" Upon being told, ihe would-be phi laniroplsi, before tho eyes of thu con gregation, look nut his checkbook und fountain pen and wrote a cheek for tho full amount. Tbe "steward" watted until the check was safely deposited In ihe basket before continuing the col lection. When the church was dismissed the people fairly buzzed with tbe excite ment of illscussng tho "payment of thn church debt by Mr. Blank, tbo million aire from Columbus." And no wonder. Tho debt was 817.60. -Ohio State Journal. What It May Load to. Tho wanm weathor was steadily ov ercoming him. It. was pitiable td see a strong man going so rapidly to pieces. He was In good shape when ho started out early In the morning, "Lemtno tell you ull about ho Samp-snn-Sohley affair," said ho. Peoplu lis tened patiently for a tltuo, but they deserted when becoming still moru ex cited he (thoutad: "I tell you the eyes of tho world are on this Slampson-Shy easel" When tho sun's meridian ray was playing on the asphalt hu was trying to got people to stop and listen. Plead ingly be exclaimed: "You must got all the tacts about you and maku up your mind about this Slyson-Shatrp easel" Alone and unhappy, ho sat on tbo ourbstone wbon the ambulance drovo np. He wus perfectly docile, und a smile Illuminated his face us he put his arm around tie attendant's neolc. and said: "Now let's you and Itnke this Sham-son-Blpo oaso and get right down to tho bottom of It."
